    One of the best fried chicken and bubble tea in London with good prices! Recommended to anyone who needs a quick bite. They have a couple of counter seatings inside too.

    Nice spot for some snacks. It was quite busy while i was here but that goes to show how popular this place is.

    Limited seats available, if you're quick enough!

    But the popcorn chicken and Squid rings are delicious!

    Made yet another return to the marvellous Good Friend and ordered the following:

    - Deep fried chicken skin with lemon and chilli seasoning
    - Chicken popcorn with garlic seasoning
    - Volcanic cheesy chicken with garlic and chilli seasoning

    This is food that is delicious when eaten hot and fresh or even when consumed later on at home. The skins were a personal favourite, so crispy and a wonderful idea that I'm surprised other places don't do more of.

    The chicken popcorn is also satisfying and miles better than any equivalent found at KFC and the cheesy chicken is a surprise hit. I'll be honest, I only ordered it to take my total above £10 to be able to pay by card and was expecting a dry and unspectacular Kiev but it is actually beautifully tender with cheese that packs a decent punch.

    If it were possible to give this 4 and a half stars I would. The only thing that lets it down is the relatively small menu but that is entirely the point of a place like this. It knows what it's good at and sticks to it and judging by the mass of people stood patiently with me whilst waiting for chicken, it clearly works.

    Look no further. In comparison to what I'm used to out in California, this joint offers the best Taiwanese style popcorn chicken in London.  You can choose to spice it up with a slew of spices or seasonings, but honestly it tastes just as great plain.

    Taiwanese fried chicken in London!  It was fried to perfection; the white-meat chicken was moist, tender, and steaming hot.  Switch up the flavor contours with combinations of the seasoning.

    I ordered the XXL fried chicken with chili and salt and pepper seasoning.  Spicy kick to the chicken and great midnight snack to traverse the town with!

    Definitely captured the attention of tourists in passing!
